Al'Michael

Soulful, dynamic, inspirational, honest….emotions that soul/rock singer-songwriter Al’Michael evokes with his music. He strives to make music that is timeless and meaningful, influenced by some of the greatest...The Beatles, Donnie Hathaway, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson.With an innate passion for music that began with singing in church at a young age, Al’Michael grew up in Missouri, performing in local talent shows and as a teenager touring the Midwest with pop/R&B groups that opened for Chris Brown, Bow Wow, Chingy etc.Singing, songwriting and performing quickly became a passion to which he dedicated most of his time while growing up. Struggling with a learning disability in school, Al'Michael found music to be his main driver of confidence and success. During his high school years, Al'Michael also excelled in athletics as a star basketball player, but ultimately had to choose between sports and music. His heart was set on pursuing a career as a performing artist. Throughout his teenage years, Al’Michael often travelled to St. Louis after school for contests and auditions, where he was introduced to other local talent. He was part of several pop/R&B groups for the next few years. During that time Al’Michael endured his most challenging times, not having any money, sleeping in cars, moving around between places, and dealing with corruptive music industry people who promised him the world. In 2012 he took matters into his own hands and moved to LA to embark on his journey of building a solo career and writing his debut album “Head vs Heart”. It’s a personal and inspirational body of work that incorporates richly melodic, heartfelt soul-pop songs, blending elements of soul, pop, rock and live instrumentation. His songs tell a story of self-discovery, life, love, struggles, hope and exposes the demons that we all face within us. Within just a few months his cover songs and originals have garnered over 1 million views on YouTube, several features on the top music blogs, while his fan base is steadily growing. As he continues to release music online he also now performs regularly with his dynamic band at LA’s most iconic venues. A big voice and true artist on the rise, one expected to make big waves in the near future!

Bryce Vine

Singer/rapper Bryce Vine was born in New York City. He spent his childhood there in a humble apartment with his single mother. Just after his tenth birthday she moved them both to Los Angeles while she was looking for work as an actress - eventually landing a lead role on the daytime drama series, Passions. Bryce found his natural talent and love of music and entertainment at a very young
age through his close relationship with her, spending time on set and helping her rehearse scenes. In Junior High, Bryce continued to develop his voice and love for music when he discovered 90's R&B when he used to visit his father. As a result, he convinced his mother to buy a guitar for him and he started developing his own sound at age thirteen.
Bryce was continuing to focus on development at an early age when disaster struck; while on vacation at age 16, he slipped and broke his neck. The experience simultaneously humbled him and inspired him; while lucky enough to experience a full recovery, he threw himself into music, which eventually resulted in a scholarship to Berklee College of Music.
It was at Berklee where Bryce met his producer and music soul mate Nolan Lambroza (The Messengers). Together, the two of them began churning out music and working towards the common goal of creating a new sound triumphed by a cutting edge new artist. ! Bryce’s sound is a blend of singable radio friendly pop and laid back, in-the-cut hip-hop; A California brand of positivity mixed with the mantra, “You only live once.”
